Every year, National Dengue Day in India is observed on May 16 to spread awareness about dengue, which is a viral disease caused by mosquitoes. It is a global epidemic, prevalent in over 100 countries, with close to half of the world's population at the risk of contracting it.
Dengue is not a serious deadly disease any more, thanks to advancements
in medicine and the development of antiviral drugs. Medicines have now made the
treatment possible and dengue cure is much more effective. Despite not being a
deadly disease anymore, it is still endemic to many countries with much of the
global population still vulnerable to it.
